[@polgara28]

You have no idea how much my heart soared at the Raylan Givens reference! ❤

[@debbiemoyer479]

Love that your parents still ride. we are 69 and 65 and still ride.

[@gw-hb4fq]

Chad & Tara thank you sharing about Panther Creek State Park. We stayed there last week. We thought the park was very nice and had a great time. George & Clairevon

[@Rejoicewithsinging]

How awesome that you can ride with your parents !!!! I rode a 2003 Harley fat boy froM 2003 when I purchased it for my 30th birthday gift to me until 2015 when I had to sell it after heart failure when my parents died.... hey maybe one day God willing I can get another Harley and take off and enjoy Gods beautiful country again 👍😊❤️🎶 Thanks for the incredible views and the great music! It cheared my weary heart today~ Take good care, God bless

[@TitoSlack]

Congrats on the channel guys! Nice to see your face again Tara it's been a long time. Keep on keeping on :)

[@ChangingLanes]

Hey stranger! Thanks for checking out our channel! 🤠

[@jamesgregus9755]

I love watching your adventures. You are real down to earth people. From you and other sites I will see places I never will get to.

You know what is cool? Getting a Changing Lanes shipping notification while watching Changing Lanes! I know Ima dork😊

[@HappilyEverHanks]

Tallulah Gorge looks really pretty, it's nice how they help make the trails out of recycled tires. I would imagine you guys hit it at the prime time of the year with those fall colors!

[@tanya334]

Wow you weren't kidding about beautiful parks!!! 🥰🥰Safe Travels 😁

[@monikazunker2282]

Your mom is so cute! What a trooper. ❤️❤️

[@michalenestabler1327]

My husband grew up in Morristown, love it there. Wonderful that your able to ride with your parents. Lost my Dad July 2020, never had the chance to ride with him. Enjoy the journey.

[@texasmamaw6555]

Loved the Gorge. Not so much the panther creek park. Trees trees and more trees. But then you got to the lake views. Nice!! Your parents Rocked!! Lucky you still have them 😍😉 to enjoy trips. Your pup is precious. Lovin the informative msgs on the video 👏🏻. Lowe’s!!!!👏🏻👏🏻

[@garretlewis4103]

Christine and I made it to Tallulah Gorge State Park last week. We saw your video and added it to our "bucket list". It was worth it. We did not go to the gorge floor, but did do all of the steps to the suspension bridge as well as the North and South rim trails. Also did some lite offroading in the National Forrest. Again, a good trip.

[@craigorr5822]

Great locations and adding to my list of places to visit!

[@FredFolkerts]

Start of the video the music selection was perfect and your transitions were spot on. Nice job! Anyways, always hated filling the rear tire with air, trying to get to the valve stem with hard saddle bags are a chore! Nice twisty roads, the old man knows how to ride!

[@nicholascounts6239]

This is a beautiful place to visit. We camped at the Camp Ground just down the road, River Bottom Falls at the Gorge. The owners are super nice and they continue to upgrade.

[@jeffsmith4525]

Up hill all the time in Tennessee. Reminds me of when I had to walk to skool, up hill in the snow, both ways.🙂

[@Scrambler85]

Back in the day we use to hike, float and slide the sliding rocks in the bottom of the Gorge before the government got involved. Nice video. Both of the parks are beautiful any time of the year. 👍

[@dtrain3413]

Hilarious!! I had Tombstone on TV while watching this video! What are the odds? LOL!!! Great riding videos as always

[@richpowell5344]

Glad to see you all still seeking the highs in life, another Great video. Thanks for saving me yet another stop on our tours through life.

[@birdieking33]

Great video. We're heading to Tallulah Gorge State Park next month and can't wait. Also, we were in Franklin a couple of weeks ago for my aunt's funeral. My uncle used to serve @First Baptist Church of Franklin.

[@JonesingforAdventure]

Tallulah Gorge looks beautiful! Very cool bridge. Love the campground at Panther Creek! If we ever can make it that far east we will definitely have to check both out. Happy travels! ~ Greg and Jamie

[@bobpurs]

Nice park and walking. Beautiful falls. Great video again Thanks. Stay well and safe.

[@richardcoyle2635]

Great video. Dailey sure was happy to see ya when you got back.

[@doodlebug4022]

Each time I watch your videos it feels like I’m right there beside you. Wonderful editing and videos by the two of you. Thanks for including us on your journeys.

[@slapshot121212]

Tallulah Gorge SP is one of our favorites. There’s lots of hiking in the area, other state parks are nearby, so it easy to stay busy. The campground is decent, but on the smaller size. We have a Momentum 349M (39’) and one turn getting in is tight. I wouldn’t try a bigger 5th wheel in there. We’ve always stayed in a pull thru site and have had room after that one turn. The hike down to the gorge floor and back up was very challenging. I’d rate it up there with a boot camp activity. But we did it and high fived when we got back up the other side.

[@DaveLaymonphotography]

@22:51 you caught a great shot of my inlaws camper. Glad you guys had a good time.

[@MegaMantim]

Those stairs were brutal...Bet you slept great that night...Great content...

[@peteacevedo3411]

Great scenery and great to hangout with family.

[@gregorycarson3889]

Wow ,those steps look tenacious your mom is awesome for that challenge 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@royh729]

Beautiful area indeed. Good to see your dad and mom riding the wing two up. Safe travels in 2021.

[@WildeGreg]

Really enjoyed the last two videos. You are in my old stomping grounds. I lived in Western NC and North GA for 20+ years. Now live in Lenoir City TN. Now you've got us wanting to fire up the motorhome and head to Morristown for a long weekend.

[@GraingerProductions]

Love Panther Creek. Good video guys.

[@dennysisk6260]

Cool video thanks for sharing I can see the steps would be an issue for sure. Love the waterfalls Very pretty .

[@HomeOnTheHitch]

We LOVE Tullulah gorge and the entire North Georgia Area! Probably, because that is where we are from. The swinging bridge is amazing. You are right it can be very confusing trying to navigate the trails in that area. You have many intersecting trails to follow including the Appalachian Trail and the Benton MacKaye trail which is nearly 300 miles in it's self. We are a new channel and would love to show you guys around our area. Safe travels!

[@garretlewis4103]

Both state parks looked pretty good. Had a rear blow out on my Ultra years ago on the interstate coming home from the fire department one night. It was no fun. Glad you didn’t have any issues.

[@andysukosd8177]

Great video guys, Love watching you guys living the Dream. Love it , you guys are great, God Bless and safe travels.

[@johnstangel8918]

Thanks guys I trust your information I just thought that people should think before they try ruining someone else's lively hood. You guys are the best.

[@sherriweber7105]

This was a great video of that Gorge. The waterfall was beautiful. It was a long way up. Tara was so glad you were able to get up from being on the ground when you were checking the bike. What was wrong with the tire? Hope the bike is all fixed and ready to go. Daisy is so cute she danced when you cane home from your hike. I was wondering if you’d find the way home and thank god you did. Tacos sound do so good. That made me want a taco. Lol. Love tacos. Can’t wait until next video. Have a great week.

[@stuartandgerrimanhart8870]

One of our favorite parks to camp in. I have never seen a bear but have seen a snake or 2 on the horse trails. Yeek!!!!! Welcome to East TN! We are in the Sweetwater area.

[@reed4adventures469]

I’m from Morristown originally. I grew up mountain biking PCSP trails. I recommend Roan Mtn SP about 2 hours away next time too.

[@adventuresdanteresaweber7143]

So glade to see you enjoying Panther Creek. Hope you do more of our beautiful East Tennessee parks. We have so much to offer along with the Smokey Mountains. Perhaps you might try Roam Mountain Stat park when the Rhododendron are in bloom.

[@gkayser100]

Really nice video gorgeous views. Sure makes us miss our bike. Tara you are tough, when I get down to find the valve stem I roll around till I can find something to pull me up. Good job guys.

[@kenandgwenhislop3176]

We were there in may and the stink bugs were crazy. We had thousands of them in our camper that gave us pleasure for many months. The deer loved our campfires. Beautiful park though

[@timscaife9143]

Justified is soooo good. Love that show. Great video!!

[@AvengerRVAdventure]

I so love that NC/Ga area. We have walked the north trail at the Gorge. It is gorgeous. I can't wait for October to get back up there. Thanks for sharing! Steve

[@kevinm9860]

Hey guys, I live in Morristown, wish I had known you were here! Good call on the gps, it is easy to get lost hiking up there. Love your content.

[@chieffinch2011]

The start with a help off the ground made me us laugh. We know the feeling.

[@JudithBrummett]

I found your channel bc we are OTW to Panther Creek now. Glad to have the info. IDK if you are ever in NC but Davidson River in Brevard NC is a great park and has trails you can ride or walk into town as well as hiking trails. TFS the video.

[@JudithBrummett]

p,s,,,, LOADs of riding for the M/C there. Right on the Blue Ridge Parkway and I highly recommend the fish camp to eat at.

[@bigfootsbestlife]

Love the area there... that's home for me. Panther Creek State Park is beautiful.

[@davidross7791]

We love Tallulah Gorge. We camped the area three times this past year.

[@robertmoore8705]

Roadmaster rear tires are kind of a pain to fill...have a 2016 blue diamond....not bad when filling in the shed....

[@bevtrue6937]

2 beautiful parks!!

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

You were in our neck of the woods at Panther Creek SP. We live at Cherokee Lake. The trails at Panther Creek are ones to easily get lost on. It wasn't Covid, they just seemed to be pretty laid back there. We did it one time, pre-Covid, after a heavy rain, so it was a muddy mess. We had to use the AllTrails app to get us back on the trail. You crack me up with the bear spray. 🐻 We've hiked with them numerous times in East Tennessee. They aren't interested in you and great to watch and photograph.

[@jasonholbert6529]

Dang we just missed you at panther creek. It was our first time there and really enjoyed it.

[@bernadetteolsen2517]

I always look forward to your videos even though we own a 2017 T@b 320 Q and have no ambition to upgrade. Excellent videography!

[@debbievonier]

Northeast Ga had a lot to offer in the way of great camping and hiking. Of course I’m a little bias since I live here. Come visit NE Ga again😊

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

A nice relaxing (for me) video! I enjoyed your moms southern accent!!

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

That does remind me of Watkins Glen. Amazing video. We also have the Grand Design Momentum 397th. We blame it on y’all. 😂 Love it!

[@brucegruenbaum]

Every time you guys see a place we haven’t been it seems like a little bit of heaven! Tennessee looks amazing! You didn’t show the valve stems on Lucille, so you may already know this, but the next time you have your tires done on the bike, make sure you have them install 90 degree valve stems. I have them on my Harley Road Glide and they make checking tire pressures so much easier.

[@ChangingLanes]

Ours came with a 90.. 👍🏼 Would be almost impossible without it.

[@FubarKen]

Did you eat at the Dillard House restaurant? Southern food served family style. Been going there for breakfast since I was a little kid.

[@andrewuriarte7581]

As soon as yall jumped onto the highway it looked familiar from my trip to FL, I loved the Tennessee highways!

[@smokingjc5327]

Valve stems are on the right side of the bike, so when it is on the kick stand it is accessible. you will never see it looking on the left side.

[@ChangingLanes]

You can see ours from both sides... Only fill from the right...

[@markjung2766]

@@ChangingLanes lol, wrong again John C!

[@saltysteveandmisfitmichele]

Another park to add to our must visit list.

[@terryhaynes1596]

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. Sorry you felt bad.

[@karenenglish4900]

Wondered if you ever checked out Tallulah Gorge. Mom and Tara did great to get on the suspension bridge. That's alot of stairs I've never taken. Did you know they taped "Deliverance" here? Hear any banjos? Love y'all. Stay safe and healthy

[@sherriweber7105]

Iforgot to put in comments that I was glad you both were ok from not feeling so well. I know what it’s like with sinus issues I get them too. You take now and see both soon! Stay safe.

[@margaretcontreras2932]

Great video sorry you got sick💔thank you for your outstanding video👀❤️

[@777jamesrc]

Happy to see Chad’s parents are active and appear to be loving life. I’m not sure if you have already covered in a previous episode but would love to learn what planning you had to make prior to the rv lifestyle. My wife and I are of similar age and both work full time. We are becoming empty nesters and not sure whether we downsize and reduce our many possessions. Option one; go on several long trips while keeping most of what we have. Option two or phase two; sell house and purchase a smaller less costly home to maintain a home base with some reduced possessions. Option three or phase 3; sell everything and take to the road. I understand everyone will have a different plan but curious how your journey started and progressed.

[@ChangingLanes]

Hi James, Thanks for watching and for your comments. To answer your questions, there is an About Us section on the website where you will find a quick back story on Chad and Tara. changinglanesrv.com/about-us/ then I suggest going into the archives and watching some of the first videos they posted. changinglanesrv.com/2018/05/ Sounds like a fun plan on a cold day!! Happy Camping!

[@debbiemoyer479]

We stay in Hangingdog NC when we go . its beautiful be safe

[@DJILLEE]

I'm missing leaves here in Michigan! Great video guys! No one would probably notice this but the footage from the gopro is a bit oversharpened. Theres a setting in the menu to lower that down. Only bugs me as a filmmaker lol. Always enjoy your channel I auto-click when a new video pops up in my notifications :)

[@buddycutts2035]

Tara mentioned Raylon Givens. I read the books and watched the Justified series. Very enjoyable.

[@rickcampbell2524]

Maybe the mirrors Customs use to inspect vehicles at the border. It has a telescoping handle? To find the valve stems.

[@ChangingLanes]

We have a mirror like that but it was quicker for Tara to get on the ground.. LOL

[@krede78]

You guys live in the most beautiful country - I hope to visit it again soon 🤞🤞🤗 with kind regards here from Denmark 🇩🇰 PS love your videos !! keep up the good work and stay safe😊

[@georgekline1899]

Ya’ll should look at getting a portable poop tank and a macerator pump. That way you can put the tank in the back of the truck and pump yer waste into that and go dump without having to break down camp and drag the trailer to the dump👍🏼

[@robertklemens59]

Looking forward to seeing more videos with the e-bikes. Interested in seeing some fun places to explore.

[@ChangingLanes]

We used them a bunch in Key West!

[@davidjackman5773]

Nice to see your Dad knows how to pick a nice bike! Hope y'all have plans for CVMA Nationals in Sheridan, Wyoming in June. I think it's going to be a hoot. Babycakes has our month long trip planned already. I just turn where my navai-gratrix tells me. Y'all be SAFE!

[@Tony-hf9mv]

Trust me I know all about the leaf lookers. From Beech mountain myself. People stop in the middle of the road to take pictures while all the locals are trying to get to work or school to pick up the kids.

[@SteveKarolek]

The trails you showed in Panther Creek look a LOT like the glacial features along the Ice Age Trail here in Wisconsin...

We are going to be on the bourbon trail in June. Great video

When in East Tennessee or southwestern Virginia check out Pals Sudden Service restaurants. They have the best Chiliburgers in the US. There is one in Morristown just down the street from Crockett Tavern.

[@gwsmiley]

Tallulah Gorge SP is a beautiful park, but did you imagine driving your truck and 5th wheel when you drove through the campground? Our first trip there we took our truck and 38' trailer, and almost lost them on the 90' turn halfway to our spot. Large boulder on the left, and drop of on the right....white knuckles all the way lol.

[@ChangingLanes]

😳

[@jamesbitb]

I would take those steps over a stair master anyday!

[@fh6758]

Love these videos, the only thing - instead of music, I would wish to hear more natural sounds like motorcycle engine , waterfalls, wind, water, leafs falling off the trees etc. Other than that you are doing great job, all three of you;)

[@katrinagrammer5861]

Ohhhh so beautiful!! We here in Southern Illinois have a new Rockford Forest River 2021 trailer we just bought and we’re super excited but unfortunately have had bad luck starting off because first time we tried to set it up last weekend the heater would not stay on so we had to end up taking it in for service!! Scared to death we bought a lemon!! We will see! But anyway we took it very close to home just trying to learn it so thankfully we were not out far away in a trip! I think N.C. might be one of our first places to visit it looks so beautiful!

Furnace not staying on is usually an easy fix. Hope you get back out soon! 👍🏼

Glad you had time with the folks! Love the suspension bridge over the gorge.

Tara can you share how you do the State welcome signs where you stop the vid and do a slow zoom in? Very creative! I now have Premier Pro and would love to know where you learned how to do that!

Amazing video guys. My family and I loved seeing all of the beautiful fall leaves in both locations. I did feel sorry about the bike ride with your parents got cut short. Did you ever figure out the tire problem on your bike? Our son loves to go hiking in state and national parks and he was surprised that the trails in Tenn. weren't marked better. You guys are the best... Keep up the great work...

No idea.. it's holding air fine now.... strange.

I'm sorry Tara that it's got to the point of you capturing Chad "Putting You Down on the Ground"! You were so quick to come up that you were looking for a valve stem! And then he made you go up over a 1000 steps in a row. Were all here for you Tara!

[@kennethdebbiedavis865]

Hey guys, you really have a lot of fun adventures. Some of your situations remind us when we were your age. We’ve just begun the process of changing from a class a MH to fifth wheel (a GD Solitude) and I picked up the truck last night. A red Ram 3500 Longhorn dually. Coincidentally, the discussion with Debbie on the drive home lead to naming the truck “Lucille”. I just realized your bike has the same name. Just wondering, what is the inspiration for giving your bike that particular name? Ours was the movie “Cool Hand Luke”. Lol. Safe and happy travels! Ken & Debbie

[@ChangingLanes]

Our Lucile inspiration came from the Walking Dead.. 😳
